Message from the Band

As some of you may know, our singer Meg Vitale has been dealing with some serious health problems the past few months.

Message

I've learned a lot of things in the past year. Some things I personally would rather not have to know. Others, I gladly accept.

During the recording of "Where Everybody Knows Your Name", I was angry. Angry at any and everyone who stood in my way. Telling me I wasn't good enough and that I couldn't make a difference in the face of music. "There's no place for girls in rock" was a favorite line. I wanted to scream in the face of anyone who told me I wasn't good enough because of boobs... how I was born into the world. I was out to destroy anyone of any size who told me there was...
